Nice to see a terminator booking it with almost 92,000 miles on it...What kind of problems or issues have you had with the car if any? Mine is about to hit 79,000 so its getting on up there as well. I have heard of a lot of cobras running around with a lot of miles on them but never heard any feedback...

Man there is nothing like the whine of the supercharger on a cobra. If I had the money I would be driving one right now. 95% of Mustangs are gay, but the Cobra is beautiful man...
Not to mention they are pretty much BUILT to handle anything you throw at them from the factory.... great car.

I posted in this thread a few weeks ago about an '03 cobra we had at my work a few months ago... it had headers, a bassani x-pipe, and a borla cat back. Other mods included a pulley swap, blue valve covers, and a few other things to make 500rwhp. It also had american racing wheels. Like I said, it was very fast, and it looked stunning (it was white) with the wheels and valve covers.
We just got in another '03 white cobra. This one is a convertible, and is a one owner car with only 5k miles on it. It is all stock, except for a swap to a smaller pulley. Unlike the other cobra we had, I am very unimpressed. My '08 grand cherokee with the 4.7L sounds nicer than the stock cobra exhaust IMO. In addition, the stock SVT wheels aren't nearly as nice as the american racing wheels that the other one had, and when you open the hood the engine doesn't stand out & turn heads like the other one did simply by having blue valve covers. In addition, the speed is not very impressive.
So what I am trying to say, is I would keep your camaro due to the fact that you have a lot of time and money into it, you already have it nicely modified to your liking, and it seems like you will miss it if it is gone. In my opinion, a stock cobra is not nearly as nice, unless you dress it up a bit and put some performance goodies on it. So basically you are going to have to shell out some more money on top of the already higher prices of a terminator.

The 03-04 Cobras are my fave and probably the only Mustang I would currently buy (and this is coming from a guy that owned two modded Fox 5.0 GTs) and I could easily have afforded one when I was looking for another toy.
However, to reaffirm what a couple guys said earlier: Why not a C5 Z06? They are the bargain of a lifetime right now. I may be biased, but it's not that hard to get 450rwhp out of a LS6 and have a car that will get it done in any situation...unless you need 4 seats.

I'm going to say keep the Camaro.. Maybe even toss a turbo on it or a procharger. Do you have any suspension work done? If so, I think your Camaro > Cobra with a little boost, although I have never driven a Cobra. Might have to test drive one. Best of luck with your decision..

The stock cobra wheels aren't bad at all. The interior could have used some work. The seats might be a little better but the rest isn't very good for the price of the car and seems to be very comparable to an F-body. Also being taller I seem to not sit comfortably in mustangs.

apples and oranges.
REGARDLESS, what did the OP decide? Any updates?
